In this book Mr. Mack covers the history of the game, how to get in the game and become a professional player, tips on how to play each position on the field, and managerial tasks too. In between the basics of the game are many stories and anecdotes about the men who played the game during his 64 years of baseball in Philadelphia. A clean presentable copy.…
